dave you are working on me well that could be it dave but not all .oil hitting things and roping in the pan at 7500 rpms after time and i am sure some harmonic. but the ones that i have seen were the ones were the hole is very big on the tab .and the tab just is not very wide so and not flat to the body of the pump there is not much there and if you think about this. on some pans the pick up hangs way down ? so in time some things will move . and i do know of a ford 302 engine that the pump did break off at the bass so i know them chevys are junk but this happens to them fords to.
